Rodney L. Swett
1959 – 2017
CLINTON — Rodney L. Swett, 58, of Clinton, joined his loving wife Julie early Tuesday morning, July 25, after his battle with cancer. Born March 12, 1959, in Waterville, Rodney was the son of Lowell E. and Annie B. Swett. A graduate of Messalonskee High School in Oakland and Kennebec Valley Technical College, Rod married Julie (Bell) Swett in 1981; they had two children, Tyler and Megan. He most recently worked for Medical Care Development of Skowhegan in maintenance. He had previously held a similar position at L.L. Bean.
Rod will best be remembered for his love of the outdoors and his willingness to help anyone in need. Rod would often be found deep in the woods at one of his many secret fishing or hunting spots or helping at the Clinton Lions Agricultural Fair. His wide-ranging knowledge of so many things was appreciated by all. Rod loved bragging about his granddaughter Alexis and was excited to learn he would be a grandfather for a second time.
Rod is survived by his parents, Annie and Lowell Swett, of Oakland; a son, Tyler Swett, and his wife Tina of Brewer; a daughter, Megan Reed, her husband Ryan, and their daughter Alexis, of Waterville; his brothers, Danny Swett of Oakland and David Swett of Rome; and a sister, Jane Pellerin, of Belgrade. Rod was predeceased by his loving wife Julie, as well as his sisters, Debra and Susan Swett.
The family wishes to thank everyone who has been of help to us during this difficult time. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation payable to the Clinton Fire Association, P.O. Box 103, Clinton, ME 04927 for help in purchasing a power chair for their use. Arrangements under the direction of Dan & Scott’s Cremation & Funeral Service, Skowhegan.
